Constructed in 1915 as the Duplex Theater, the building was converted into the Oriole Terrace Ballroom in 1922. By 1940 the name was changed to the Latin Quarter and was home to bands, concerts and dancing. It once hosted music greats such as Stevie Wonder, Marvin Gaye, The Supremes, Duke Ellington, Ella Fitzgerald, Sonic Youth, Sophie Tucker, Lena Horne, Jimmy Durante, Sammy Davis Jr, Arlene Dahl and the Red Hot Chili Peppers. It was demolished in 2011.
